    We got a Caprese sandwich and I got the french ciabatta. The Ciabatta french sandwich was really good, although missing a bit of flavor and the caprese was good, but would not order it.

    The music is way too loud for someone that’s trying to handle business or study. The manager said they do not have access to the volume and that they would email the corporate office to request to lower music on a Sunday, sad. Lake Mary Sun Drive

    Just a regular Panera bread. I've been in here a couple times and it's not usually overly busy.

    For the most part, the food was decent. However, the chili tasted off. It was really dark in color like it been sitting in a pit too long. When I tasted it, it was not great! It had a odd taste but I tried not to complain but I couldnt eat it all. I went to the staff and inquired about the chili. The chili is frozen and thawed in facility. Not sure how long it sits either. When I said it tasted bad, the lady just said sorry. I will never purchase the chili again. If I didnt have gift cards, I probably wont be back anytime soon, either. It is really off putting to find out the soup is just frozen processed food with no real flavor. Add to note, tables and chairs stay dirty here unless you clean it. I had to wipe my own table. The time it took to eat my meal, no one came out to check the tables. There is a pile of dirty dishes at the trash station! Very disappointing!
